Allevare Beechworth Shiraz 2022
$ 44.00 incl. GST
Description
A one-off wine for Allevare, embracing the opportunity to make a Beechworth Shiraz from one of Beechworth’s oldest vineyards, the Warner Vineyard a one-time key supplier to Giaconda no less. Fruit was handpicked and made by Allevare in the Little Frances winery. 11% whole bunch, left on skins for 2 weeks and pressed to large format French oak, with 20% new.
“What a strong varietal opening. Meaty and smoky, bitter herbs, wet earth, mossy wood, vegetal note of roasted beets, granitic rock or almost warm asphalt type of note. This Shiraz has a dark side, but it’s lifted by fresh pepper spice and a shade of fresh violet. Lots of roast in flavours, ground coffee and dark amaro finish. Yum!” 93 points, Kasia Sobiesiak, Winefront
